Not a Bad Novel

It's rare nowadays that completed novels get adapted into manga. I think the last three light novels I read have been on hiatus for a minimum of five months. ╥﹏╥

Spoilers for the ending below:

This novel is actually pretty cliché, with the FL going back to her old husband.

Apparently the ML has a cursed bloodline, where his family's magic turns them into a monster, causing them to be short-lived (traditionally the father dies before the son even reaches adulthood). The ML's dad didn't even tell his wife about the curse until after he died (it was in his will), and she did NOT take it well, basically losing her mind and taking drugs to forget everything. The ML hoped that she would get better soon, but he was busy taking over from his dad, and the war was starting up, so he was busy.

Naturally, since the ML was rarely home (because there was still a war going on: the war didn't end until literally JUST BEFORE the FL died) and his mom lost her mind, the servants took advantage and isolated the FL. The mother-in-law was jealous and seemed to think that the FL stole her place, and the servants were happy to abuse a foreign noble and have someone to pin their multiple thefts on. Seriously, they convinced the ML that the FL was a thief and a troublemaker and it was dangerous to let her near her own son, and since the FL and ML only interacted during their mandatory heir-making days, he didn't know that she was locked up and starved half the time. (╯°Д °)╯╧╧

He thought she was joking when he gave her that dagger, and was shocked when she used it right there in front if him and her five-year-old son. Which immediately led him to investigate what could have driven her that far, and then him purging the entire mansion (all of the servants died, and the mother-in-law was put in exile). He also found out that the reason the curse wasn't affecting him so strongly was because the FL was healing him every night they spent together, which obviously wasn't the case anymore after she died (making him feel guilty because of how he treated her).

Then he investigated the dagger, because it's supposed to be able to send someone back in time, and he was worried that the FL didn't have enough magic to go back in time, so he and his son (who was late teens at this point) decided to commit suicide together in hopes that their magic would be enough to send HER back in time.

Of course, when she returns to the world pre-war, her husband had his memories, too. So they're both running around in the past, trying to stop the war before it starts.

And yes, when the son is born again, he remembers his past life, too. (〜 ̄△ ̄)〜

    Don't be so harsh (about Japanese light novels)
    Nowadays there are many independent Japanese women, therefore many light novels surrounding that
    It's just that people don't translate those good ones
